1. These are flowers of Tulasi. Technical name "Ocimum tenuiflorum"

2. A variety of Marigold flower

3. Close-up shot of petals of Kardali in marathi. Don't know its english name :(

Vengurle Beach

Last month, we got an opportunity to visit my native in Konkan function. During the stay, we went to Sagareshwar, Vengurle Beach in the evening. Sharing few shots taken on Vengurle Beach.

The sun was setting, but the sky was cloudy and light was low. My son, Pranav was enjoying, playing on the beach. He calls sea as "Face-Nadi" (Foam river). I was watching him playing in the water. He threw sand on Prashant and was running back as Prashant was trying to catch him. I could not resist to sit in the water and capture this moment.

These childrens were playing in the sand and that reminded me of my childhood memories, when we use to visit Juhu beach, when I was a kid.
